Inside his shop, he stood at the chair where he'd cut Adam Lanza's hair so many times over the years.

"It's just weird that I actually touched him. That's the worst part about it -- that he was in one of our chairs. I'd try to joke with him. He wouldn't even look at me."

Admittedly, he has a terrible thought.

He wishes he'd have killed Adam.

"I wish I would've killed him then," he says. "Or he should have killed himself a long time ago. He would've saved us all the trouble. ... He should've run in front of a bus, or some other type of terrible death he should've done to himself.

"It would've saved all those kids and parents the trouble. I should've slipped and stabbed him by accident. It would've been a lot better for those people."

Skuba's not sure if he cut the hair of any of the slain children. He hasn't let his mind go there.

I don't really want to talk about that.

He's lived in Newtown for more than 30 years. He puts down his clippers.
